Brad Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 we're mentioned in stories currently linked on the home pages of both CNN.com and MSN.com and the site is getting hammered. i've already began arrangements to get more servers added to our cluster to handle the traffic, but in the meantime we'll just have to tolerate the slowdowns and occasional forum closings during peak times.
crystalp Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 ^Yeah, I just had trouble getting in due to high traffic. You guys are doing a great job keeping us updated on all the BF deals! Thanks!
dealluvr Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 wow i'm back finally black friday is here!!!
abentley Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Holy cow! I just tried to get in myself with no luck! I was hoping there was new ad!!LOL!!

KrystalMae1231 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I just about went into panic mode when I couldn't get in. :) Thanks for all that you do, hope this streams some new gottadeal family members.
Karmarose Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks, Brad for everything you do. We appreciate it all year round.
dmintelsgt Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks Brad - panic attack over now - forum functioning again - whew!
Brad Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 why does everyone panic? wasn't there a message saying it was closed because of high traffic? if i really wanted to scare everyone, i could have posted a message saying the site had been shut down due to a court order because some retailer got mad and sent their lawyers after us...

Or that you have the Walmart ad but aren't showing us ;-)

I think I would have had a heartattack if that was posted!! Thanks Brad for all you and your staff do :) I would be lost without gottadeal everyday!!

Mandy25 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I just found this site last year and so glad I did!!!! Thank you Brad for all you do to keep us up to date on the best deals. This site has saved me alot of money.
rsthayer Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 ty so much for all you do. in the last couple of yrs I havent really posted much (which I am trying to do more of ) but i do browse the forums alot and I really depend on this site to make my shopping plans on BF. wouldnt know what to do without it.
Gporter34 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I know that I really appreciate everything you and the wonderful mods do here. But...I did sort of lose it when I couldn't get in a little while ago, lol. I just KNEW that WM ad was out and that it would be down before I could get in and see it. Way to make an old lady have a heart attck or something, geesh!

clevelandrocksandrolls Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I guess this just shows how spoiled we all are! Take away our gottadeal and we all start to get the withdrawl shakes!

KBsDarling Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 i panic because i just *know* the high traffic is because either the WM ad is up OR there is a deal and I cant get on to see it!!!! LOL Perhaps this black friday I vow to not panic when GD blips should have been mentioned more in the I vow thread LOL
tinkrbel Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 i was trying to check on a deal before leaving work and couldn't get in:( figured the new ads all at once did it. Glad to know we're looking into ways to resolve it :)
